Earlier this month, I was scouting out various parts of Mare Island during the day time, so that I could return at night to reshoot them. I loved the shape of this building, but I never made it back to this spot after dark to reshoot it. Maybe next time (if it's still standing...)
I made these blocks a couple of years ago. They are made with different sized pieces of wood, painted white, with my favorite Christmas paper at the time from Basic Grey. A few little embellishments and they were done. I display them on a shelf in my family room with a wood carved angel at the end. Wish I had more time to be crafty this time of year. There are so many great ideas out there.

Since I'm so late in getting my March swap to Tammy, I thought I could show her some progress.
Tammy I hope you like it so far! :)

I managed to take a few shots of this guy whilst he was destroying his nasal spray.
Didn't seem to want to get caught in the traffic and was quite happy to sit and snort.
Purpose-built for Code-Breakers
Taken in Bletchley Park
Bletchley Park, British government cryptological establishment in operation during World War II. Bletchley Park was where Alan Turing and other agents of the Ultra intelligence project decoded the enemy’s secret messages, most notably those that had been encrypted with the German Enigma and Tunny cipher machines. Experts have suggested that the Bletchley Park code breakers may have shortened the war by as much as two years.
The Bletchley Park site in Buckinghamshire (now in Milton Keynes), England, was about 50 miles (80 km) northwest of London, conveniently located near a railway line that served both Oxford and Cambridge universities. The property consisted of a Victorian manor house and 58 acres (23 hectares) of grounds. The British government acquired it in 1938 and made it a station of the Government Code and Cypher School (GC&CS), designated as Station X. At the start of the war in 1939, the station had only 200 workers, but by late 1944 it had a staff of nearly 9,000, working in three shifts around the clock. Experts at crossword-puzzle solving and chess were among those who were hired. About three-fourths of the workers were women.
To facilitate their work, the staff designed and built equipment, most notably the bulky electromechanical code-breaking machines called Bombes. Later on, in January 1944, came Colossus, an early electronic computer with 1,600 vacuum tubes. The manor house was too small to accommodate everything and everyone, so dozens of wooden outbuildings had to be built. These buildings were called huts, although some were sizable. Turing was working in Hut 8 when he and his associates solved the Enigma. Other new buildings were built from cement blocks and identified by letters, such as Block B.

So, I cut the stock out, and since she wanted lager blocks (against the possibility of putting in a stronger steel prod later) I did so!
It took every ounce of energy and so much determination to complete this block today...I am fall over exhausted. I just finished my last set of 4 days of 10 hours shifts. I hope to never do that again in my life. I am going to work Monday and Tuesday and then I am done at my current job. I have endured a year and a half. In my opinion a year and a half too long. I give myself credit for sticking with it but also for knowing it is time to walk away. Even though I have disliked the job it is still difficult for me to head out the door. I ***am*** heading out the door to a healthier environment and I know a healthier me.
simple running stitch on the second panel and cut work in the linen at the bottom - I've left this more simple to show off the lace panel - plus it's really small
